hi fenderman, i currently have motion sensor checked and my min object size is 550, and min contrast is 40. i'm using object detection to trigger when the object travels 100 pixels. It is pretty much the defaults that I haven't touched. Do you suggest lowering these values to make it more...

Hi, Recently, i've noticed that my blue iris isn't triggering any alerts during the night time. During the day, there are many alerts but once it gets to night time and throughout the entire night, no alerts get triggered even though I reviewed the video and see people walk by. I'm using the...

i have 3 cameras and disabled all and enabled one at a time and tested each camera individually...no issues when one is enabled. when i enable 2 (tried different combinations) the spike is maybe once every few minutes. when I enable 3, the spike is way more often. (although there are times...

it started randomly. after i restarted my computer, i continued to run blue iris without the update (even though I saw there was an update) and the problem continued. I then updated the software but same issue.

sorry, i messed up on the title. it is CPU...

Hi, I have been using blue iris on my computer for the past 3-4 months with no issues and this morning I woke up and noticed my computer crashed. I restarted the computer and every time I run blue iris, the cpu usage has been spiking randomly (sometimes close to 100% or high 90's), causing my...

Yep, that I understand but the camera is shooting at the sidewalk where there is very little movement. There are probably 3-4 people who walk by every hour, whereas the other camera has a little bit more activity than that and producing much smaller files. That's the part that I'm a bit confused...

Appreciate all the replies. I currently have my amcrest IP2M-842 set at VBR and 2048 bit rate. (I'm also recording on 720 instead of 1080p to lower CPU usage). Is there any reason why every 30 minutes equals to about 1gb of video? The amcrest IPM-722S has similar settings and it is coming in...

Thank you for the reply wcrowder. I was wondering if i should be using VBR or CBR for my bit rate type. My camera is currently hitting the sidewalk. It is not very busy and generally has a few people walk by every hour. I'm assuming a CBR would be sufficient but would love to hear someone...

thanks fenderman, what bit rate should I select for both cameras without affecting quality of the video? thank you again.

Hi, I have two cameras Amcrest IP2M-842 and the Amcrest IPM-722S. I have attached my cameras settings for much both of the cameras and blue iris is recording 12 hour clips at 20+ GB per clip. What are the optimal camera/recording settings where clips are not that big? I'm trying to save about...

Mr Gizmo, Thank you for your detailed reply. I tried everything that you suggested except rolling back to an earlier version of blue iris. (I will test this within the next few days to see if it will can fix the issue) I do see some improvements but still get some freezing here and there...

Hi, yes I am on wifi. When I view the cameras on the amcrest website, the cameras do not lag. Once I view them on blue iris, there seems to be lag.

Hi, Brand new to the forum and just finished setting up Blue Iris. I purchased two cameras the Amcrest IP2M-842 and the Amcrest IPM-722S. I got them up onto blue iris and things seem to run smoothly until the cameras detect any motion. Once the cameras detect motion, the frame rate drops...
